** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Other users logged into a system may loose work if another user shuts
+ down/reboots a system.  Data loss is not a Good Thing.
+ 
  [Test Case]
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1) Create a second account in the system
  2) While the first account is open, open a session with the second one
  3) Try to shutdown the system
  
  Expected results:
  The system logs out instead of shutting down (ideally with a warning on why it did that)
  
  Actual results:
  The system shutdowns and unsaved data on session1 is lost
  
  [ Regression Potential]
  
  None.
  
  ----------------------------------
  Desired resolution:
  
  - Add a warning message informing the user that other users are logged in and then shutting down will also close their sessions as proposed in the mockup attached to comment #12
  - The warning message should be "Other users are currently logged in to this computer, shutting down now will also close these other sessions"
